In Years 1 and 2, students are registered in Huron University College in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science and follow the normal curriculum for the Honors Specialization module. In Year 3, students are registered in the HBA program. Students are registered in the combined program for Years 4 and 5. The combined program is outlined below. Students in the combined program must meet the language requirement for graduation with an Honors Specialization module from the Centre for Global Studies. (See Centre for Global Studies section of the Calendar for details.)

Language Requirement for Graduation with an Honors Specialization from the Centre for Global Studies
Students graduating with the Honors Specialization must satisfy the language requirement in one of the following ways:

• 2.0 language courses with progression from one level to the next (e.g., 1030 level to 2000, or 2000 level to 3000) in any language other than English
• 2.0 language courses in two different languages (other than English) at any level
• By demonstrating fluency in a language other than English
Students are permitted to use language courses at the 2000 level or above to meet module requirements where appropriate.

International Experience
Students in this combined degree program are required to achieve a significant international experience. Four-month exchange opportunities may be taken through Huron or Ivey in Year 4 or 5. Exchange may not occur during the HBA1 year. Courses taken on exchange at Ivey's exchange partners to meet the requirements of the Honors Specialization module must be approved by the Centre for Global Studies prior to the exchange. Courses taken on exchange at Huron partners to meet the requirements of the HBA degree must be approved by the HBA Program Director. Students wishing to enroll in Ivey's exchange program must apply through Ivey for specific exchange partner schools. Four-month summer experiences in another country or experiences facilitated by the Canadian International Development Agency (this experience may also be the foundation for the CGS 4000-level requirement) and Huron in Honduras also apply. Other international experiences may be recognized upon approval from the HBA Program Director and Huron's Director of the Centre for Global Studies.

In Year 4, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 75% in their 4000-level HBA courses and a minimum cumulative modular average of 75% with no mark less than 60% in any modular courses required for the Honors Specialization.

With permission from the appropriate HBA Program Director and/or Huron’s Director of the Centre for Global Studies, the student may continue in one degree, and request permission from the other School to complete the other degree at a later date.

A student who fails to meet the progression standards in any year of the combined degrees may appeal the decision in writing to either the HBA Program Director or Huron’s Director of the Centre for Global Studies, depending upon the degree in which the progression standards were not met, in accordance with the University's policies on Academic Rights and Responsibilities.

Dean's Honor List
Students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at Huron University College in Years 1 and 2 and at the Business School during their first year of HBA (Year 3).

At the Richard Ivey School of Business, students are considered for the Dean's Honor list during their first year of HBA. Students enrolled in Years 4 and 5 of the combined degrees are considered for the Dean’s Honor List at the Business School in Year 5 only. Only grades obtained in 4000-level Business courses will be used in calculating averages for the purpose of determination of Dean's Honor List standing. The Dean's Honor List for HBA2 typically includes the top 25% of all of HBA2 and is determined by vote of the teaching faculty. Courses taken outside the Business School are excluded. Calculations for Ivey Scholar and Gold Medals are completed the same way. 

Students who take courses required for the Centre for Global Studies Honors Specialization module totalling at least 2.5 courses in Year 4 and 4.0 courses in Year 5 of the combined degrees are considered for the Dean's Honor List at Huron University College in each of those years on the basis of those courses.
